Problems with downgrading from Android 13 in Xperia 10 III

Not yet all the obstacles are defeated:

$ sudo ./flash.sh
Flash utility v1.2
Detected Linux
Searching device to flash..
Found XQ-BT52, serial:HQ61A914E5, baseband:62.0.A.3.109, bootloader:1322-1665_X_Boot_SM6350_LA2.0_R_49

Fastboot command: fastboot -s HQ61A914E5
>> fastboot -s HQ61A914E5 getvar secure
<< getvar:secure FAILED (remote: unknown command)

Then I ran the command again:


$ sudo ./flash.sh

EDIT: Now it succeeded!
I first connected the phone pressing vol up, ran the flash, got Searching device to flash.. then I connected the phone again while pressing vol down and now it ran the flashing successfully.
